Narrative:

I was working in the back. I had just disarmed my door at 2R at the back of the airbus. I was gathering my belongings when the phone rang from the front. The purser told me that she had accidentally deployed a slide at 1L because she pulled the open handle thinking it was the disarm lever. We had just worked the all nighter to ZZZ.
